[There is something very suspicions going on in Namibia. Read the report below. The Namibian Govt is spending more money on “national security” and even allocating enormous sums on the new State house. However, the Minister of Safety and Security mentions what a dismal state the Police force is in – and yet, they are not diverting any funds from frivolous expenditure like the new State house towards keeping the Police going. In fact, they are saying the Police might even have to be downsized even MORE!!

I have mentioned many times in the past (and this is actually the core “thesis” of my book “Government by deception”), that the Black Socialist-dominated Govts of Southern Africa lie about their real aims.

Let”s go over obvious examples: Mugabe said he needed to “give land to the Black people to give them jobs and food” – but we know from experience that neither of this happened. Blacks did not get much land, and they benefited in no way. Yet, I think the real game was: Destroy the White farmers.

More recently (and thank goodness even the USA has condemned it), he has done “clean up” (all of a sudden – why?) – which resulted in making 250,000(43)+ Black people homeless. Many are now suspecting that it really was REVENGE and that it has a political motive.

In Govt by Deception, I said that the game, with Affirmative Action and Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) is not so much to help the Blacks as to get the economic power away from Whites.

In South Africa we have questions like: Why is the Govt making it easier and easier to be a criminal? Why don”t they try to solve the problem of crime? Or is there a hidden agenda? Do they want (like most Whites now openly believe), to drive us out of this country?

Do you see what I”m getting at? These Governments say one thing, and they give a fake reason for wanting to do something. The reason they give is not at all linked to the REAL REASON they are doing it. Hence I called my book: “Government by DECEPTION”.

Now take a look at what is happening in Namibia now, and ask yourself if this is not GOVERNMENT BY DECEPTION in action there too? Why are they deliberately downsizing and letting the Police force fall into ruin (when it is obvious that they have money to prevent this) – or do they have a hidden agenda? Does the Govt there deliberately want to unleash a crime wave upon the White people there???

Let”s keep watching this one… Jan]

THE shocking picture painted by the Minister of Safety and Security, Peter Tsheehama, of the dismal state in which the Police force finds itself, is extremely worrying for this country and its people.

Although the Finance Minister has defended her budget against criticism, there is little doubt that policing is an issue that appears to have been, if not overlooked, then certainly relegated to a less important place in terms of national spending priorities than it deserves.

In Parliament this week, the new Minister of Safety and Security warned that the Police could be forced to scale down (further) and even terminate services because of a lack of finances.

He illustrated his statement with examples such as the closure of charge offices at night, a pile-up of bodies in police mortuaries, and overcrowding and deterioration of services in the country”s prisons.

The Police force received a budgetary allocation of some N$731 million this year, with the bulk of the amount going towards personnel expenditure (primarily salaries) leaving a scant 10 per cent for the crucial function of fighting crime and maintaining law and order.

Several budget critics questioned the lesser amount allocated to Police services even prior to Minister Tsheehama”s shocking revelations in Parliament this week, and there can be little doubt that skewed priorities are evident in the Budget.

How Swapo Members of Parliament, including Prime Minister Nahas Angula who is usually credited as one of the few political personalities committed to frugality and modesty, can vigorously defend the enormous budgetary allocation to a palatial new State House, against this backdrop of a deterioration in law and order services, is incomprehensible, and it is time these MPs and Ministers revise their attitudes.

President Hifikepunye Pohamba has largely been “forgiven” for the fact that the current budget does not necessarily mirror the priorities he has outlined, since he has only recently taken over as head of state, but perhaps the time is now opportune for him to seek some lasting solutions for problems such as the abovementioned, which could quickly take things from bad to worse if not dealt with as soon as possible.

Law and order is one of the crucial central functions of Government, next to priorities such as the socio-economic wellbeing of our people, most particularly children and the elderly, and it cannot be allowed to go from bad to worse.

MPs defend the bizarre expenditures on a so-called intelligence-gathering unit for reasons of “national security”, and yet fail to see how a Police force diminished in terms of competence and manoeuvrability can itself constitute the biggest security threat of all! If one took this year”s allocations of N$90 million for the new State House and the N$46 million for the national intelligence agency, and shifted them to the more pressing priority of policing, it could make a difference to the deteriorating circumstances of our police force.

These are just a few examples.

Other measures could be undertaken, such as the shrinking of the intelligence unit to become a component of the Police, rather than a department on its own, operating with little public accountability or scrutiny and a hefty budget we are not permitted to critique.

A weak and ineffective Police force, to sum up, is a certain threat to the maintenance of law and order in this country, and the criminals know it.

Government has to ensure the rationalisation of the Budget in order to ensure that this deterioration, for the sake of our citizens and our democracy, is not permitted to continue.
